Aeneas Appius, born in 1960 in Basel, Switzerland, began his sporting career as a football player. At the age of 38, he switched from team athlete to individual athlete and worked his way up to the national top in his age category in running in just a few years. After another achilles tendon operation, his passion for Run-Bike-Run ignited in him. With a great willingness to learn and broad support from the Swiss Duathlon community, he soon challenged the experienced top athletes at international championships.
After 25 years of competitive endurance sport, his achievements include an impressive 280 race victories and over 50 championship medals in different age group categories. He has won international city marathons, bike races, individual time trials, sprint triathlons and can call himself a 3-time Duathlon Sprint World Champion, 4-time Duathlon Sprint & Standard European Champion, 4-time Duathlon Swiss Champion and 7-time Swiss Champion in various running disciplines.
For decades, he analysed the success stories of inspiring people and wrote his first book «WINNING SPIRIT» in 2022. The book reveals the 7 principles of success and teaches the reader how to use the energy of positive thinking as a driving force to achieve big goals.
He is currently involved in the promotion of Run-Bike-Run as Swiss Duathlon Age Group Manager, runs the IG Swiss Duathlon and supports ambitious athletes in achieving their goals and improve competition tactics.
